I'm a student at CollegeAmerica Denver. We took our WindowsNT final exams today. Why do people bother spending thousands of dollars if they have no interest in "really" learning how to do the things that they are there to learn? All of these people are so worried about the grade they "got" (earned is more like it) and not worried about the fact that they obviously did not know the material. One girl even bragged after class that she cheated on the installation exam. What is the point? I just don't get it.
